Description for Self-Assembling Peptide Systems in Biology, Medicine and Engineering
Hardback. Covers the intrinsic self-assembling behaviour of peptides and the implications of these properties for a broad range of applications. This book also covers protein conformational diseases, the engineering of nanostructured biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric materials with potential applications in tissue engineering and biomedical devices. Editor(s): Aggeli, Amalia; Boden, Neville; Zhang, Shuguang. Num Pages: 376 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 713.
One ofthe major drivers in biological research is the establishment ofstructures and functions of the 50,000 or so proteins in our bodies. Each has a characteristic- dimensional structure, highly "ordered" yet "disordered"! This structure is essential for a protein's function and, significantly, it must be sustained in the competitive and complex environment of the living cell. It is now being recognised that when a cell loses control, proteins can se- assemble into more complex supermolecular structures such as the amyloid fibres and plaques associated with the pathogenesis of prion (CJD) or age-related (Alzheimer's) diseases. This is a pointer to the ... Read more
